    Every last one of these insane fucks thinks themselves some kind of chosen, picked-by-god leader of the apocalypse main-character in the stupidest fairy-tale they never grew out of. They aren’t just narcissistic, that implies some level of brain-power. This is a whole other level of self-absorption that turns off conscious thought.

    I’m not even being hyperbolic, fundamentalist Christian doctrine is meant to strip of you thinking, of rationalization. You can be a very smart person and not have conscious thought about critical aspects of life or the world around you. Thinking isn’t the same as being able to drive cars, go to work, plan murders, etc. You can do all that stuff without having a mental dialogue or monolog that lets you reason out ideas in your head. You only get that inner-dialogue if you’ve grown up in an environment that allows for it, by training you to question and figure things out on your own.

    Religion doesn’t let you figure things out on your own. You exist as this shape moving through life just waiting to die so Jesus can wrap you up in his arms and rock you to sleep like a lil’ baby or something. It’s a death cult. There is no value towards life of anyone. I was raised in that environment but never quite got the same incentive for heaven because it never made sense and seemed like eternal bliss would be a boring nightmare you could never wake up from.
